Good thing I ordered two thumbstick caps!
Comment on The Steam Controller's stick is upgradeable!

I’m not sure I’d consider this a total upgrade - I have a Steam Controller and an 8bitdo SN30 Pro, and despite the 8bitdo one being newer and having been used much less, I wore through its original thumbstick rubber and had to replace it much sooner than the Steam Controller’s thumbstick cap, which hasn’t even worn through, it was just flaking.
Either that was a fluke, or the 8bitdo rubber isn’t as durable.

I haven’t had any noticeable joystick wear on my four Pro 2’s since launch date April 2021. I’m using them evenly however, so that might skew things. I swap to the next every time the battery needs recharging.
Weekly couch gaming sessions with my friends is why I have four.

Chiming in as a steam controller die hard, and sn30pro master-race. My replacement stick for steam controller from 8bitdo still turned into flakes in a few months. My sn30pros are going strong though, may be a batch to batch situation for rubber materials.
